Title : Face Philosophy- Synergy of Interdisciplinary paradigms in the age of AI
Abstract:
The Face is the determinant choice for diagnosis, from a macro esthetic perspective, in many clinical situations. The FACE is also an analogy for Functional and Cosmetic Excellence. The seemingly two different concepts are interrelated and equally important for the Aesthetic clinician. The Face philosophy in diagnosis and treatment planning, envisages the following tenets
1. Position of Incisors and Jaws as a framework of the soft tissue envelope.
2. Morphology of the hard tissue framework.
3. Shapes and Volumes of the soft tissue envelope.
4. Functional And Cosmetic Excellence.
Diagnosis has evolved into a modern biological model with greater emphasis on soft tissues. The boundaries for dental treatment with respect to the soft tissue are dictated by several aspects of soft tissue relationship and function.
- Lip teeth relationship and anterior teeth display during speech and function also called as the Planned Incisor position.
- Pressure exerted on teeth by the lips, cheek and tongue.
- Limitations of periodontal attachment
- Neuromuscular influences on mandibular position.
- Contours of the soft tissue mask
- Airway
Synergy between the above parameters and hyperparameters can be achieved by deep neural machine learning in AI parlance.
Audience Takes Away Notes:
- The advent of predictive technology like AI and machine learning, is going to make our patients more accepting of the treatment goals as well as more demanding of the outcomes. It is up to us to harness our potential, as a complete aesthetic solution provider by collaborating various disciplines of dentistry.
- Treatment Planning process can be done from multidisciplinary perspective in an effort to balance the very complex process of diagnosis, with the need for simplicity and coherence.
